Are 'fuse box fuses' the same as 'plug fuses'?
No, fuse box fuses are of the screw in type. Plug in fuses are of a cartridge style that plug into the fuse holder which supports the fuse on either end of the cartridge.
Can you use a wire that has no groves to tell you which side is neutral?
The raised rib is only found on lamp cord wire. Other flexible cords will have the wire colours identified by the colour of the wires insulation. In these types of flexible cords any connections to devices shall be made as, white to the silver coloured screw, black to the brass coloured screw and green to the green coloured screw.

Why do two circuit breakers control the same circuit 120 volts on all devices in circuit?
Circuit breakers are like fuses that you can reset. There is no need for two though because they do the same job as one, which is to open the circuit as soon as the voltage that is being called for by all the devices becomes greater than the 120v you mentioned. <<>> It sounds to me like you are talking about a three wire split receptacle On kitchen counter plugs and sometimes other locations the electrical code requires that split receptacles be installed. This request came about by people trying to plug too many appliances into one 15 amp circuit. The circuit not being able to carry the load and constantly tripping the breaker. On a split receptacle the tie bar is removed on the hot side (brass) of the receptacle but not on the neutral (silver) side. The red wire is connected to the top brass screw, the black wire is connected to the bottom brass screw and the white (neutral) wire is connected to the other side of the receptacle The rating of the breaker in the panel will be, 2 pole 15 amp. What this gives you is 2 separate 120 volt 15 amp circuits on one receptacle If the voltage was measured between the two hot slots on the right side of the receptacle top and bottom you would measure 240 volts. This voltage would only be 240 if the breaker feeding the receptacle was full size 2 pole and not mini breakers.
How do you turn off the breakers for a fuse box with the old style screw in glass fuses?
The old fuse panels with the screw in glass fuses usually had a handle on the side that operated a disconnect. The disconnect was a knife switch with heavy contacts and knives to handle quite a bit of current. Sometimes it was built into a separate box near the fuse holder but closer to the voltage source than the fuses. Certainly you can back the fuses out, but look for the disconnect first.

Where are the fuses on Audi a4 located?
There are 2 lots of fuses 1 is inside the car at the side of the dash board on driver side,use a screw driver 2 open the panel then your fuses are there ready 2 change.The other fuses are under the bonnet these should not blow OS they are alot more powerful compaired to the ones inside the car.

A screw drive is a screw mechanism that moves and hydraulics is a fluid pressure system
Where are the fuses kept you think you have to change a fuse in your home but you dont see any fuses in the breaker box?
Fuses and circuit breakers are two different circuit-protection safety devices. A house will have either a fuse box populated with removable, screw-in fuses or a breaker box populated with breaker switches. An older house may have a fuse box, wherein are find several round, screw-in fuses. A fuse usually has a glass window in front that gives you a view of the fuse element inside. Normally, the metal element should look intact. If it appears broken or burned, or the glass is blackened, that fuse has blown, doing its job. Each fuse has an ampere rating number; only replace a fuse with one of the same rating. Previous residents may have left you spare fuses inside the fuse box or in a kitchen drawer. If none are around, they can be purchased at a hardware store. Take the old fuse to the store with you to find a match. (Do not touch or insert anything into the empty fuse socket; you could suffer a deadly shock.) Newer homes user breaker boxes. The switches inside perform the same function as fuses but are reusable. Breaker switches may look like simply a different kind of on/off switch (and they can be used that way), but they have a center off position they flip to when overloaded. To reset a breaker, first flip it to the off position and then back to on. You generally don't remove and replace a breaker switch. For both fuses and breakers, it is important to first determine what caused the overload that burnt out the fuse or flipped the breaker. If the problem was simply too many electric-powered items on at a time, turn some off and replace the fuse or reset the breaker. If you can find no apparent cause for an overload, there may be a dangerous short in your wiring or in a plugged-in device or appliance. In this case, replaced fuses and reset breakers will just blow again. You'll need to first discover and fix the source of the problem.
